Protecting Your Business with Microsoft Defender

Why London’s financial firms are turning to Microsoft Defender for security and compliance

In the City of London, where financial services are the backbone of the economy, cybersecurity is not optional, it’s essential. As a managed service provider supporting financial clients, we’ve seen a sharp rise in targeted attacks, phishing attempts, and compliance audits. That’s why we recommend Microsoft Defender for Business as a core part of your security strategy.
